AS ELECTION season draws near and voter registration just opened, several celebrities took to social media to encourage Filipinos — especially the youth — to register to vote for the upcoming 2022 Presidential elections.
Among the celebrities who took to social media to encourage netizens to register were Saab Magalona, Jake Ejercito, and Jennylyn Mercado.
Magalona used a cute video with her son Vito through a Twitter thread to catch the attention of her followers.
“Voter registration resumes today, the first day of September. Comelec is only offering in-person registration despite the pandemic due to the need to gather biometrics data,” she wrote. “Remember: No mask and face shield, no registration,” she added.
In another tweet, Magalona called on the attention of Commission on Elections (Comelec) Spokesman James Jimenez after encountering problems with accessing the Comelec’s website.
Responding to Magalona’s tweet, James responded: “We’re setting up mirror sites. Thanks!”
Thanking Jimenez for his response, she replied: “The youth will be waiting! Thank you!”
Ejercito, on the other hand, highlighted the importance of voter registration especially those between ages of 18 to 35.
“Voter registration na, sinta ko! Specially calling on the 18-35s. Let’s not give the future away. #MagpaRehistroKa,” he wrote.
Mercado, for her part, wrote: “Responsibilidad natin eto. Register and vote!”
The Presidential elections are scheduled to be held in May 2022. (Push)
